TITLE   :MFX DRAW: Incorrect "Low Memory, Save Document Now" Pop-up
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
The following pop-up message appears without apparent cause:
 
   Low memory, Save document now
 
CAUSE
=====
 
DRAW is trying to create a DC using its own metafile driver. Windows
NT doesn't support the loading of nonstandard drivers, so the system
fails the CreateDC. This, in turn, fails the WM_RENDER message that is
being passed to draw the metafile. This, in turn, fails
GetClipboardData back in Word for Windows context, which generates
this pop-up message.
 
STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.1 of Windows
NT. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. This will not
be solved until there is a 32-bit DRAW or a 32-bit device driver.
